Nokia will have to make a very serious platform decision in the not-so-distant feature. If resources spent on developing both will place that decision on sound arguments, I say it could be worth it. The tech scene is not (yet) persuaded that Meego is a dead end and a re-invented, unproven Windows Phone platform is the last chance to save Nokia.

Perhaps the tech scene isn't, but everyone else is. Aside from anyone else, phone operators really aren't going to be interested in stocking Meego handsets because no-one wants them or even knows what Meego is.

That's apparently wrong:

in Russia, where it broke the countries record for pre-orders
What was the previous record? For all I know it could be 10.
the phone was sold out by the end of the N9 launch in Russia’s Nokia flagship Store
So it sold out in the main flagship store? That's not really saying a lot. We also don't know how much stock they got in.
